Dear Mr, Gol die: . -* ,
Many fhanks for the courtesies extended to me in Minneapolis and I expect to receive a letter from Mr. Linstrom within a day or two In order that ' yiz may advance the first funds on this debt and complete the construction as rapidly as possible,
I hate to inject anything unpleasant in this proposi¬ tion, but it was intimated to me that you were under considerable pressure for leases to Jewish people - while it should be no concern of mine, I do think that leases to these people will certainly be detrimenta to the operation of your property. The proposition must go one way or the other and I think if you let one Jewish family in you are going to create a dissention among your other tenants which will react very unfavorably to your rental situation.
This is strictly a personal opinion on my parr and "^ is voiced in the belief that it might be helpful to you.
Please convey my regards to your associates and I hope that they will co-operate with you in getting this project completed as rapidly as possible,
With all good wishes, I am
Cordi a I Iy
